To learn more about our agency, current volunteer opportunities, and the application process, please attend one of our upcoming volunteer orientations:

Most of our volunteer positions require volunteers to complete a 50+ hour Mandated Agency Training. We offer this training 3 times a year. Our next training is scheduled in September 2013.

History:STAND! Against Domestic Violence started with a single phone line in a utility closet and a core group of volunteers dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence. A year later, the Family Stress Center received its first grant to begin serving victims of child abuse and neglect. These two historic non-profits became one unified agency on July 1st, 2010.
